People who really know cars engines electrical breaks all that kind of stuff are still very far and few in between... Just a lot more people that enjoy the hobby and appreciate cars but knowledge of them is still pretty scarce... The good part is that's how I make my living...
and what I meant by "real car people" is passion. Not really so much on their skills or talents. But at least know a chevelle isn't a Mustang. I make my living off of cars myself.
I'm bringing coffee to sell.
I think he will need to run about 8.0 in the 1/8 on motor, then hit it with a 200 shot to have a good shot at Casper
At this point I believe it's just a publicity stunt. Hes been working for 4 years on BR, and it's never gotten close to a 8.0. The thought that a guy with that mega dollar hemi head SBF, would even race a sluggish 4 door car that cant even make a clean pass without breaking reeks of "publicity stunt"
If he can or cannot get 8.0 on motor, that's just where I think it will need to be... unless he uses a 300 shot on this "one and done" race. I do think there will be a race, because to me PR moves just aren't Andy's style. As for BR itself, I have nothing against a more-door, and I actually like the car. I would have fun with it, but I wouldn't have gone the NOS route.
You coming through for the zip ties or duct tape drags in Tucson this year?
No sir I am going to the No Name Nationals. I wish I could make both of them.
Ok say Hi to the Family and have fun.
and Caspers trip at the track ran a 6.8's (1/8, of course). That would be about 10.8's in the 1/4 ?? Not bad for a 4k pound pickup
The chart I have (optimistic in my opinion) says 6.85 adjusts to 10.69. (Besides the chart, I have three formulas for the conversion, none of which come up with the same answer, lol)
That pickup is pretty fast! I dont understand how hes going to seriously race a slug 318 powered taxi that has proven in 4 YEARS of refinement, still cant run any faster than I believe 8.80s...its gonna be a gimmick!!!
